Hermione ran out of the room starting to cry, not believing what she just done.

Draco suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

He ran after her out of the doors of the Great Hall.

Chapter 10: Finding Hermione

"Hermione!" He yelled, and tried to follow the sounds of her crying.

"Hermione!" He yelled again.

He turned a corner and saw Hermione leaning on a wall sliding down to the floor to a kneeling position, crying her eyes out.

"Hermione?"

"Go...Away"

"Hermione? Why are you crying? If the deal was going to make you upset, you should have not agreed to it. You know? You're crying for the stupidest reason. I mean, come on… WHO cries after doing their part of a deal? Who?" Draco said.

"Listen, if you came here to start fussing… I don't want to hear it! I didn't ask you to follow me. Go away." Hermione said, beginning to stop crying (A/N- Oxymoron sentence? lol!)

"Sorry, I was just saying."

"Sure." Hermione said staring at the floor she sat on.

Draco sat down next to her.

"Yeah well… look at the bright side… I have to be nice to you until… What? Thanksgiving break?" Draco stated more than asking.

Hermione looked up straight into his eyes.

Draco looked worried. Not just because of the deal. He sincerely looked worried, and it made Hermione think. 'Maybe he's changed…… wait! What am I saying??? Draco?

Changed? Yeah right.'

"Hermione?" Draco was waving his hand in front of her face. "You looked like you were daydreaming… You went sort of glassy eyed."

"Huh? Oh! Well, yeah, I was just thinking."

"About…"

"You. Why do you look so worried? I'm just a little mudblood who you are being nice to because of a deal." Hermione said.

"Because your not just a little 'mudblood' that I'm being nice to because of a deal. Just because I'm in Slytherin, doesn't mean that I don't have feelings."

Hermione stared at him. "Okay… Care to explain why you're not in character at the moment?"

"Hermione. I'm not in character because… well I'm actually in character, but, I don't act like this around people." Draco explained.

"Why me?" Hermione asked hiding a smirk.

"Because…… Hermione don't make me do this. I know what you both asked me at potions class when we had the truth potion, because I hunted Seamus down, and made him tell me, and I can pretty much imagine my answer." Draco said.

"You aren't answering my question… Why me?"

"Hermione!!! Are you TRYING to torture me?" Draco said.

(A/N- Oh yeah, did I mention she stopped crying? lol!)

"Uh, pretty much… yeah." Hermione answered smiling now.

"Well I'm not going to answer you because you know what I meant. And now you're smiling, so my job is done here. Let's go back to the Great Hall."

"No, it's too late, everyone's going back to their common rooms. But I know where we can go to get some food though." Hermione said.

"Oh and where is thaaa-" Draco tried asking but was suddenly took by the hand and being pulled by Hermione.

!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!***!!!

They arrived in front of the portrait of fruit.

Hermione reached her hand out and tickled the pair.

The pair giggled and the wall moved making a space for Hermione and Draco to walk through.

"Come on" Hermione said, still dragging Draco behind her.

"Miss Granger!" Came a voice. Hermione and Draco turned around.

Dobby.

"Hello Dobby! How are y-"

"Dobby?" Came Draco's voice.

"Mr. Malfoy?"

"Wow it's great to see you. I just want to let you know that I'm sorry for anything my father has done bad to you, and I really appreciated all of you help back at home." Draco said.

"Thank you sir. You make Dobby feels good, sir." Dobby said bowing his head.

"We missed dinner and were wondering if you could-" Hermione started.

"No problem please take a seat and we'll make some food." A house elf piped in.

Another house elf was dragging Hermione and Draco over to a little space with chairs and a table and pushed them into seats, then went to help the other house elves out.

"Hermione, how did you find out about this place?"

"That's for me to know, and you to find out," Hermione said smiling at Draco.

"Sure…"

Several house elves came rushing toward them with plates filled with food in their hand.

The house elves placed the food on the table and rushed away talking madly to each other.

Hermione and Draco started to eat.

@@@@@@^^^^^^@@@@@@^^^^^^@@@@@@^^^^^^@@@@@@^^^^^^@@@@@@

"That was good" Draco said stepping out of the portrait. "I rather eat there than in the Great Hall, all they wanna do in there is stuff you."

"Yep." Hermione said turning a corner.

They were quiet for a few minutes.

"Millenia" Hermione said.

The portrait to their prefect common room opened.

"Hermione?" Draco said.

"Yes?"

"Uhm… never mind." Draco said

"Uhm… Okay." Hermione said.

Hermione went upstairs to her room, which left Draco in the common room.

Draco walked over to a chair and sat down.
